 Learning as child's play |

Interactive and challenging, this museum for the smaller set is never dull. Even the adults will enjoy the activities, which often include local Washoe Indian practices and fun hands-on art projects. The grand old civic auditorium building that houses the museum is also of purely architectural interest. Special events for the kids perk up almost every weekend. See website for current listings.

The jewel of Tahoe |
Highway 89 Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 United States +1 530 525 7277 |
Majestic Emerald Bay is just a small part of this beautiful and pristine State Park covering 1,830 acres of the Sierra Nevada mountains. You will find six miles of both rocky and sandy beaches on the magnificent shoreline of Lake Tahoe. Also available to visitors are picnic areas, camping and miles of hiking trails. Enjoy nature and see the beautiful variety of trees and plants that are indigenous to the Lake Tahoe area. Along with the Ponderosa and Jeffrey pines, red and white fir, cedar, junipers and cottonwood, the park is brimming with gnarled and stunted sugar pines that grow in thin granite soil. Take a stroll along the Balancing Rock nature trail and see a 130-ton rock that balances precariously on a slender stone base. This has been a favorite attraction since the late 1800s. It's a short and easy half-mile, self-guided walk that shouldn't be missed. Plan on spending the entire day, because once you get here, you won't want to leave. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Guided nature walks are also offered. The adjacent area boasts hiking trails, a beach, biking trails and fishing. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Scandinavia on the lake |
Highway 89 Lake Tahoe, CA 96143 United States +1 530 525 7277 |
Mrs. Lora Josephine Knight began building her estate in 1928 with as many as 200 workers employed to carve intricate designs by hand; the hinges were hand-forged as well. Two of the most unusual aspects of the castle are the sod roof and the fact that much of the house was built without benefit of nails or other fasteners. The castle contains many fine examples of Scandinavian furnishings and antiques. This site is accessed from Emerald Bay State Park, also known as the D.L. Bliss State Park. Review © 2007, Wcities |
